Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 27 reviewers.
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by ND Traveler Heaven Booked our room on line. Not so sure we got a great deal, but, it was a very memorable time! 23 February 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by AaroninChicago Exceptional Staff! The personal greeting and farewell from the General Manager upon our arrival and at the departure was something I've never experienced in the hundreds fo trips I've taken. The tone she set was evident as the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to provide great service. I stayed in the garden view bungelow with pool and enjoyed the experience! The room was incredibly comfortable -- mattress and pillows exceeded my expectations. Nice bathroom as well. My only criticism would be that everything shuts down so early. On our first evening we took a nap and awoke at 9:30 to find the kitchen closed. Everything in the area was also closed. I wished that the hotel woudl have offered late room service or kept the bar lounge open later with some food items available. 21 January 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Turtlegirl123 Room mixup & clogged sinks My friends and I stayed at this property for 5 nights in November 2013. The property is slightly outdated but overall, not bad. Upon our arrival the first day, we were given a tour of the property and then shown to our over the water bungalows. We had booked two bungalows with twin beds. However, they gave rooms with one full sized or queen bed. When we explained that the sleeping situation would not work for us and that none of us were couples, they suggested that one of us sleep on the sofa bed. I'm sorry but we did not pay this much to sleep on a sofa bed. We were told that there were no twin bed rooms available. After expressing our disappointment that this setup was not acceptable, they then went to double check their system. Turns out that 2 rooms were available. It was later explained to us that it was our agents fault for not passing on our bed preference. Regardless of whose fault it was, suggesting that one of us sleep on the sofa bed, which is not as comfortable as a bed, was not acceptable or accommodating. Another downfall was that the sinks in both bungalows were clogged. The double sinks in ine room drained very very slowly and the one sink in the other room wouldn't drain at all. The sink plug was completely stuck shut. Despite these mishaps, our overall stay was good. The hotel is not as modern or upscaled as its sister hotel or many of the others but it's clean and well managed for the price you pay. If you want the nice fancy perks, you still have the option of going over to the Thalasso. It is definitely windy here (day & night) compared to the Thalasso which makes swimming/snorkeling a little difficult but on the flip side, it has the best snorkeling areas. You see a lot more fish here. Plus the coral gardens is only a 10-15min kayak ride away. There are also many local restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. There are definitely pros and cons to this property. It all depends on what your holiday plans are. As for receiving IHG Rewards for my stay, unfortunately, I was informed that I didn't qualify since I booked the room from a travel agent. So keep that in mind. 29 November 2013

2012 Jeep Liberty Trims
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (8)
The Arctic trim of the 2012 Jeep Liberty is primarily a cosmetics group, offering four unique paint treatments: Bright White, Winter Chill, Bright Silver and Mineral Gray. There are additional exterior treatments as well, such as a black hood decal, hard badges on the fenders, dark tint glass, blacked-out headlights and black 16-inch alloy wheels. The Liberty Arctic also gets you white-faced gauges inside, along with special dark gray upholstery with white and orange accents that continue on to the trim for items like the steering wheel and armrests. But the changes aren't all aesthetic, with tow hooks, fog lamps and an Infinity stereo with 6.5-inch touchscreen and 8 speakers with a subwoofer. It's all powered by a 3.7-liter V6 with 4-speed automatic transmission augmented by a 2-speed transfer case, 4WD and hill ascent and descent control. Front seats are still heated, and a full power package includes heated power mirrors and remote keyless entry. You'll get automatic headlights and a garage door opener, and white-lettered MOPAR slush mats. Traction and stability control are joined by front-seat active head retraints, traction and stability control, 4-wheel antilock discs and 4 standard airbags.
Latitude 4WD

Leaping over the Sport designation, the Limited trim of the 2012 Jeep Liberty offers some luxury in the form of leather for the heated front seats and tilt steering wheel with audio controls. The driver gets 6-way power for his bucket, and a memory system stores positions for that seat and the heated power mirrors. Front passengers will have to be satisfied with 2-way power, but an Infinity sound system with Bluetooth and voice recognition should keep them quiet. Air conditioning is still standard, but here you'll get extras like rear privacy glass, roof rails and some fog lights to go along with the automatic headlights. There's a universal garage door opener, remote-keyless entry and 17-inch alloys. It's still powered by a 3.7-liter V6 attached to a 4-speed automatic, and you'll get standard traction and stability control. Dual front and curtain-side airbags are supplemented by front-seat active head restraints, and 4-wheel antilock discs get assist.
Limited 4WD
|Pictures (1)
A 2-speed transfer case mitigates power from the 3.7-liter V6 to all four 17-inch alloys in the 2012 Jeep Liberty Limited 4WD trim. Sadly, there's still a 4-speed automatic involved, but at least hill ascent and descent control are both standard. The driver will enjoy amenities like a heated power leather bucket seat with lumbar adjust as well as a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with controls for the Infinity sound system. That system gets satellite radio and a digital media connection, as well as Bluetooth with voice recognition. The driver's bucket gets 6-way power, while front passengers get 2-way. Air conditioning, cruise control and automatic headlights are standard, along with roof rails and fog lights, and remote-keyless entry is complemented by a garage-door opener. Traction and stability control are joined by assisted, 4-wheel antilock discs, 4 airbags and front-seat active head restraints.
Limited Jet
For Jeep Liberty lovers who are looking to add a bit more to their 2012 Limited trim, the Jet may disappoint. With only a distinct exterior trim and 20-inch alloys setting it apart from the lesser Limited, the Limited Jet doesn't seem like much of an upgrade. But maybe that's because the Limited was already so very well equipped with full leather and an Infinity sound system. Sure, there's no navigation to be had nor dual-zone climate controls, but you'll get air conditioning and Bluetooth with voice recognition. The stereo is satellite ready with a digital media connection, and remote keyless entry is paired with a garage-door opener. A memory system governs the heated, 6-way power driver's bucket and heated power mirrors, and remote keyless entry is joined by a garage door opener. You'll get automatic headlights, fog lights and roof rails, and cruise control is standard as well. It's all powered by the 3.7-liter V6, and the sole transmission is sadly a 4-speed automatic with hill ascent control. Safety features include assisted 4-wheel antilock discs, traction and stability control, front-seat active head restraints and 4 airbags.
Limited Jet 4WD
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (9)
A 3.7-liter V6 powers all four 20-inch alloys in the 2012 Jeep Limited Jet 4WD trim, helped by a 2-speed transfer case and a 4-speed automatic with hill ascent and descent control. Unique exterior trim, fog lights, roof rails and rear privacy glass are all visible from the outside, but the full leather package inside makes all the difference here. Heated power front bucket seats and a tilt steering wheel get the treatment, and the driver gets a memory system that saves settings for the driver's seat and heated power mirrors. An Infinity sound system has satellite radio, a digital media player connection and Bluetooth with voice recognition. There's a garage door opener, remote-keyless entry and automatic headlights. Traction and stability control are standard, and the safety features list is completed by assisted, 4-wheel antilock discs, front-seat active head restraints and 4 airbags.
|Pictures (7)
A 3.7-liter V6 motivates the 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport, although it's sadly connected to an antiquated 4-speed automatic. Looking hard for the "Sport," you'll find traction and stability control but not much else. Sixteen-inch alloys are nice but don't scream "Sport," and the cloth upholstery does a lot to negate any points won by bucket seats. Still, the Liberty Sport has plenty of convenience features like hill ascent control, automatic headlights, a tilt steering wheel and air conditioning. The stereo has satellite radio and a digital media player connection, and a full power package includes heated power mirrors and remote-keyless entry. You'll get 4-wheel assisted antilock discs, front-seat active head restraints and 4 standard airbags.
Sport 4WD
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (18)
Four-wheel drive gets you more than power to all four corners, because the 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD's 2-speed transfer case and hill descent control compliment the hill ascent control already standard for the Liberty. Otherwise, things remain the same with a 3.7-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission as the sole powertrain. Cloth upholstery covers front bucket and split folding rear seats, and the power package includes heated power mirrors. It also has automatic headlights, alloy wheels, remote keyless entry and air conditioning. A tilt steering wheel offers some adjustability, and entertainment is delivered via a CD/MP3 player with satellite radio and a digital media connection. Safety is handled thanks to front-seat active head restraints, dual front and curtain-side airbags, 4-wheel antilock discs and traction and stability control.

A gorgeous designer bag is great, but the price tag certainly is not. What�s a girl to do when you fall in love with a designer bag, but you simply can�t afford it? Well, you visit GoJane, of course! We carry a full selection of imitation versions of some of today�s most popular high-end handbags, all for prices that are accessible to the average girl�s budget. From large satchels to slim shoulder bags, these imitation handbags are perfect, right down to the very smallest detail. Browse the entire collection to find the designer look you love at prices you�ll only find from GoJane.
Quilted purses with chain shoulder straps have been an in-demand style for decades, but they also come with a $1,000 price tag attached. If you love this classy, feminine look but never dreamed of owning one yourself, GoJane is about to make all of your fashionable dreams come true. Our quilted purses have the same timeless look as the originals, but these designer-inspired handbags are available for less than $30.
You�ve seen that large, leather satchel with a gold twist lock on the arm of just about every celebrity for the past few years, and you can�t stop planning how you�d wear it with the outfits in your own closet. Now you can, when you purchase the affordable designer imitation from GoJane. In your choice of neutral shades and an incredibly realistic faux leather material, this stunning bag is so beautiful that strangers will surely think it�s the real deal.
Even bags that aren�t on the runway can be out of your modest budget, and these ones are especially frustrating. If you�ve had your eye on a floral print backpack at your local boutique but you simply can�t bear to shell out over $100 for it, don�t fret. GoJane carries a number of these casual bags for equally casual prices. From backpacks to canvas totes to fringe handbags, our imitation purses give you the same look for much less.

Matt! Buh, I've been so behind on the forums, it's just like, ahhh, where do I start to catch up? XD (And only to leave on vacation tomorrow, too!)
The chobits redraw is worlds better than the first version! And don't worry about little details; it'll come in time.
The older Sierra looks really good, too. You've DEFINITELY improved a ton with linear. One thing, though: Are you using some sort of pen tool to draw the linear? I can see all of these geometrically perfect bevels in certain places (the calves and arms, namely) that don't look quite natural. They look a little inflated anatomically. Maybe you should add more anchor points (UGH IT TAKES TIME AND I HATE IT) and be more precise about controlling how those curves behave?

Wow! I definitely see the transformation occurring-Congratulations on all your hard work!! Something to think about is to go back and review your goals. Are you getting close to them? Keep up your good work-Let us know when you've crossed the finish line! We are here cheering for you! Go Girl Go!!!
wow...you look great. did you do shakes? what did you snack on? i'm big on snacking.
Hi lulu and thank you!
I make 1 shake every day: EAS vanilla protein powder, 5 frozen strawberries, 1/8 cup of frozen blueberries, and cold water. I don't drink the pre-made ones unless I know I will be out of the house all day, and then I buy the Myoplex Lite chocolate shakes.
I love snacks too. Here are my faves during the Challenge:
Low-fat cottage cheese with blackberries or pineapple
Fage Total 2% Plain Greek Yogurt + some low-glycemic fruit, usually blueberries or 1/2 a peach
A can of water-packed chunk light tuna on a slice of toasted, plain whole-wheat bread topped with all-natural salsa
Think Thin Protein Bar, usually Tangerine Creamsicle, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, or Creamy Peanut Butter
My own concoction I call the B4L Gyro: Whole wheat tortilla spread with nonfat Greek yogurt, wrapped around 4 oz 99% ground white meat turkey seasoned with s&p and paprika + cucumber slices and lettuce. Mmmmm!
Quick salad with greens, sliced fresh vegetables, chopped deli meat, tossed with a little olive oil + balsamic vinegar
Oh and Annie, Day 84 is May 20! Oh my gosh 9 days to go!! I am stoked!
I will definitely be putting up Day 84 pics but I probably won't be in a bikini by then... but that's OK! I feel I have come far. I am down to 25% body fat, from 31.5% in Week 1. Want to be at 23% by Day 84. Not sure if I can drop the extra 2% by then but I am doing everything in my power to try! Most of what's left is around my midsection but my thigh and waist measurements are still dropping so we'll see what happens over the next 9 days!
I think your pictures show awesome progress!!!! You look great!

Ok I have a real macbook pro (the oldest one), its crapy only takes 2GB of ram and somthing keeps braking with it every 5 mins.
I want to know and maybe do one simple thing. Would it be possible to get all sorts of bits and bobs such as newer motherboards, cpu's, and graphics cards that would fit in my old case or something, but mish mash them with bits I have from other pc's and macs and then get at hackintosh os it?
Sounds crazy, is any of it possible. Is there some odd company that makes pc parts designed to fit in macs?
Please give advice.

It was a double-elimination night on "The X Factor"
Thursday, and the result were, by all accounts, very surprising.
girl-group Sweet Suspense was immediately given the boot after it was announced
they received the lowest amount of votes for Wednesday's performance
show. Simon Cowell
was shocked to see the group he put together earlier in the
season be the first to get cut.
it was revealed that Khaya Cohen and Rachel Potter were also in the
bottom three, and forced to perform a singooff songs in hopes of staying in the
competition. Khaya got to stay and Rachel was told by Simon that she was
the one he's sending home.
the morning after their elimination, Rachel Potter and the ladies of Sweet
Suspense join Araksya Karapetyan on Good Day L.A.

Ape Surprise :: Hollywood Elsewhere
Except Rise of the Planet of The Apes is really good. It's easily the best Apes movie ever made, and that includes the original. Rise is sharper, tighter, more emotional...lacking a Statue of Liberty finale, okay, but nonetheless with a "better" story in a sense.
We're talking about a gripping, compassionate, well-plotted sci-fi fantasy popcorn film -- riveting, amusing at times, state-of-the-art CG, movingly acted by performance-capture guy Andy Serkis, etc. No, I'm not exaggerating. It has excitement, intrigue, humanity, empathy, soul. And the story is primarily an ape POV thing -- the human actors are strictly backup, speaking the same kind of rote expository dialogue that James Arness, Joan Weldon and Edmund Gwenn spoke in Them!.
And this dude usually hates summer popcorn movies.Quote:
And don't listen to guys like Lewis Beale, who earlier this evening called Rise a "fun, not-intellectually-taxing summer entertainment." C'mon...it's much better than that. It's a compassionate look at imprisonment and oppression, and a rousing saga of rebellion and revolution. And it all levitates courtesy of some of the best motion-capture CG I've ever seen.

So, an overall successful film, with some great character work brought to the Apes, some mostly brilliant effects to bring them to life and a really great finale that makes you root for the apes and the downfall of the bastard humans. In fact, this would make the best follow-up on a double bill with Project Nim ever. By the end of Project Nim youre ready to eradicate human beings as a species in favor of the primates of the world. Rise of the Planet of the Apes works as escapism and good storytelling. It's a tentpole with something on its mind other than just fan service.

For the record, this reviewer panned Inception and liked Jonah Hex.Quote:
I could describe Rise of the Planet of the Apes as Escape from Alcatraz, except with apes, but that would make it sound like a movie you might actually want to see.
Do not have 1 erg of desire to see this. I'll be at The Change-Up this weekend.

I am starting to have high hopes for this chapter in Simian culture.
I will see this next week, I don't really go to the movies/theater on
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central
Great, I am gonna bawl during a cgi ape flick...:yo:Quote:
However, whatever may be lacking in the character development department, Wyatt makes up for with some spectacular action sequences as well as some pretty emotional moments among Will, Charles and Caesar because for as much as the story is about the destructive results of humans playing with the natural order of things, at the end of the day Rise of the Planet of the Apes is also a story about the relationships between fathers and sons and what it means to have to let go once they're no longer part of your world. So while there is plenty of action in Rise, you may just need to have a Kleenex or two on you just in case because things do get emotional from time to time.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the antidote to the bloated summer blockbusters that have been taking over our multiplexes these last several months. The film was definitely made with Planet of the Apes fans in mind, but there is still a lot to be enjoyed for the uninitiated audiences out there. Rise is a masterfully crafted sci-fi/horror adventure that has the power to draw you in with both a breathtaking action story as well as the heartfelt characters at the core, making it one of the strongest and most intelligent popcorn flicks of the year.
It's gonna suck.
It was okay. There were some cool references to the original. The tone of this movie is unlike any ape movie before it. It's not a remake of Conquest because Conquest was the sequel to Escape but it obviously parallels the concept behind Conquest.
FYI...don't leave the theater when the credits begin. You'll miss the real end of the movie.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawsuit reported that a bachelor party mishap at a Philadelphia strip club landed the groom-to-be in a hospital with a ruptured bladder.
The Philadelphia Daily News reported Friday that Patrick Gallagher had been invited to lie on the stage at the Penthouse Club as a dancer slid down a pole.
The lawsuit filed last week in state court alleges the woman landed with such force on Gallagher's abdomen that his bladder ruptured.
Gallagher, of Lansdale, needed surgery after sustaining the injury in November 2010.

Kevin Love to meet with doctor next week, hopes to play by end of March
Kevin Love will travel to New York City next week to meet with the doctor that performed his hand surgery in January and said he hopes to get clearance to return to the court so that he can join his team next Friday for a game in Houston against the Rockets.
But even if he gets clearance, he said in a report from Jerry Zgoda of the Star-Tribune that he personally feels he shouldn't play next week, perhaps in part because he underwent hand surgery before the season and returned in November, earlier than expected.
Instead, Love hopes to realistically play in the final 15 – 20 games of the regular season, which would set his return for some time around March 24 when the Wolves host the Chicago Bulls.
"It's really up to the doctor and myself and Glen and David," he said, referring to owner Glen Taylor and basketball President David Kahn. "But until I see what the doctor says, I just won't know."
Love says he will visit NYC surgeon next Wednesday, sounded like he hoped to play within a week of that if he gets the OK—

Hi all...
I don't know where else to post this question since this isn't really a Photography forum but rather a Lr4 forum. But I'm still very new to Digital SLR camera's and need some help.
I currently have a Canon T3 w/ the 18-55 Kit lens. I'd like to take photos of Landscapes, mountains and waterfalls, etc... But at the same time I need the ability to take photos up to or around 6" away from objects. All the different numbers on the lenses are confusing the heck out of me and I was wondering if there would be any advice anyone could give me on a good Canon lens or two which will get me where I want to be. I want to take close-ups and distant/wide shots. Lenses certainly aren't cheap so I want to make the right decision.
I just recently purchased a book by David Busch on the T3 and it's capabilities but I still have a way to go before I finish the book.
Can anyone offer some advice or insight into the importance of using the right lens or even a recommendation of a Canon lens?
If you want to go cheap, buy the Kenko extension tube set, and use them on your 18-55. This will perform surprisingly well.
If you want to go expensive, buy the Canon 100L macro.
There are intermediates between these two.
The 100L is definitely expensive... And for now out of my price range. I'd like to stay OEM with the lenses. Although I just read some good reviews on the Kenko extension tubes.
Are you familiar with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens? Would I see any benefit from it? It's very inexpensive compared to most lenses and was wondering if it would be a good addition?
The 50/1.8 won't get you any more macro performance than the kit lens.
Realize that extension tubes have no glass in them at all, and no electronics either. They're basically just spacers with contacts to connect the electronics through them. I've had two sets of Kenkos for years without any issues at all, having used them on lenses from the 35/2 (tiny like the 50/1.8) up through the 70-200/2.8L IS and 100-400L.
I have Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens and it suits best for the portrait. The portraits with the lens are just the best! If you want to spend more money, you can take the f/1.4 version which is 3times expensive than f/1.8 (not big difference in quality for me).
As Lee Jay pointed out there is no glass in an extension tube to degrade the image quality, but you do lose effective lens F stop. Your 18-55mm F 3.5 - 5.6 lens will become ~F10 - 16 when using all three of the Kenko extension tubes, making it impossible to use your camera's autofocus system and difficult to even focus your lens manually.
If your objective is to add capability for macro photography, then your best bet is to buy a macro lens. Canon's 60mm F2.8 EF-S macro or Sigma's F2.8 50mm EX DG macro lenses are good choices for your Canon T3 body. These are both far better choices than the Canon 50mm F1.8 EF lens, which has less close-up capability than your current 18-55mm lens (.15x versus .34x magnification). You could purchase the Canon 50mm F1.8 EF lens and Kenko Extension tubes for $300 total cost, but you will give up the convenience of infinity to 1:1 magnification autofocus capability provided by either of these two macro lenses. Both the Canon 60mm (~$430) and Sigma 50mm ($370) lenses provide very good image quality wide open at F2.8, also making them very good for portrait photography with their 96mm and 80mm effective focal lengths on your 1.6 crop factor T3 body. I own a Sigma 50mm EX DG lens and have used it on both my Canon T3i (1.6 crop) and 5D MKII (full frame) bodies with excellent results. The Canon 60mm EF-S lens has slightly better optical performance since it is designed specifically for Canon's 1.6 crop camera bodies like the T3. If you have no intention of ever moving up to a full-frame camera body such as the 5D, then I recommend the Canon 60mm for achieving your close-focus performance. Otherwise I suggest going with the Sigma 50mm EX DG macro lens.
Since you have posted this in the LR forums, I'm going to make another suggestion using LR's tools that will cost you nothing. Take some of your 18-55mm close-up shots and simply try using the Crop tool to achieve higher magnification. You may find your T3's 12Mp image files can tolerate a lot of cropping and still have sufficient image size for your target usage.
Hi Prodigy,
Shooting landscapes as well as macro will not be possible with the same lens.
Landscapes usually are shot with wide-angle lenses, focal length ca. 10-24mm.
Macro (i.e. Close-up details) usually 85-105mm.
These focal lengths have another side effect: wide angle includes much more and gives the feeling of depth.
Long focal lengths (high mm figures) give a compression of depth, that means things far away from you seem to get condensed to one plane. It is much more easy to exclude background detail with such a lens, especially if you open aperture pretty much (low f-stop numbers).
Sigma does excellent lenses, both for nikon and canon, so I would not stick to OEM as a principle. Especially if you are on a rather tight budget, Sigma will give you good bang for the buck. I love their macro 105mm.
Generally a piece of advice, if you are a bit patient and want to minimize your spending over the range of a decade: buy the best glass you can afford. You will use it with several camera bodies as it lasts much longer in perfect quality if you handle them diligently. So saving some more months for a more expensive lens before a purchase can save you a lot in the long run.
Finish your reading first before you decide.
Maybe you also want to include further thoughts of http://craftandvision.com/.
This is very interesting and should give you some perspective on the relative importance of gear.
Have fun, Cornelia

Focal length doesn't do that, location does.
Technically 100% correct, but not useful to the OP.
If he is in a given location and has two lenses to choose from, compression or depth impression is what drives his decision which lens to mount.
Or which to buy first.

You're both correct! Here's a good example of what Cornelia-I was talking about:
What Lee Jay meant by "location" is that a wide angle lens forces you to get closer to your foreground subject to fill the frame, and a telephoto focal length lens does the opposite (you need to get further away). This difference in distance of the camera from the primary subject (i.e. camera "location") is what changes the perspective and "look" of the picture. It is also the primary reason why most professional photographers use wide angle and telephoto focal length lenses–not simply to get more in the picture (wide angle lens) or get closer to the subject (telephoto lens). The affect can be quite dramatic when using extremely short (i.e. wide-angle) focal length lenses:
http://www.digital-photography-school.com/17-stunning-wide-angle-image s
There are three primary focal length categories:
Normal (50mm on 35mm full-frame format, 30mm on 1.6 crop body)
Wide (35mm and shorter on 35mm full-frame format, 22mm on 1.6 crop body)
Telephoto (85mm and longer on 35mm full-frame format, 53mm on 1.6 crop body)
For close-up macro photography focal length plays less of a role on perspective due to the extremely small depth of field. A longer focal length macro lens (100mm and 180mm) is desirable primarily to increase the distance between the camera/lens and subject, which can be less than 2" for some 50mm macro lens...not too good for getting intimate with insects!
WOW! I'm getting some really good information here... A lot more than I expected and I really appreciate it. Send me more if you have any...
I think my best bet is to hold off on the extra lenses and wait until I can afford one which serves my needs. Unfortunately, for me I need both a wide-angle and a macro lens. Even more $$$ to shell out for a OEM lens. (For some reason I prefer to stick w/ the OEM lenses Canon puts out... But this is just one of my own habits... good or bad).
What I gathered from the posts is it sounds to me the larger the number (50mm, 85mm, etc..) the better zoom capabilities the camera has and the exact opposite when it comes to the lower numbers which make a better wide-angle lens for scenery and such.
I also just came across a Canon UV filter I had purchased and placed on my Rebel XT a long time ago. It's UV Haze and 58mm. Is this a good UV filter to have? I was trying to capture the sun the other week when we were supposed to have the "big solar flares" (which never happened)... Is this a good haze filter to have on my T3 18mm-55mm lens? I had completely forgotten I had even put it on.... However it didn't seem strong enough to capture the sun...
Am I correct in my understanding on what all of you have shared with me thus far? I wish there was an actual "photography for beginners" forum somewhere. Hey, I'm a Web Designer... Maybe I'll create one. LOL!
Canon filters are low-end filter good for protection, but they can mess up your images in certain harsh lighting conditions because they aren't multi-coated. I use them when protection is more important than quality, and I use the lens bare with a rigid hood when quality is most important. If you want front-element protection all the time, a good multi-coated filter is good.
I think you can do many reasonable macro shots with your 18-55 with an extension tube. I have done many with a 15-85 or a 17-85 and a tube. Of course, a dedicated macro lens is better - at ten times the cost. I also prefer longer focal lengths, but I prefer focal lengths longer than any regular macro lens (200-400mm) so I end up with tubes anyway. I think they are worth you having as a starter, especially when some can be had this cheap:
Good price for what the sample images I saw could do for getting right up close. I'm still considering. I saw two from pro optic on amazon.com. One was around $75 and the other was around $45. Not sure what the difference in the two kits were... They appeared the same to me and both sold by adorama.
What about Landscape shooting? Are there any affordable options out there like the macro tubes?
You can shoot landscapes with just about any lens. I'd stick with the kit lens for now - you can learn a lot from that. Many people don't realize that you don't need an ultra-wide to shoot landscapes. In fact, you can shoot landscapes with a long telephoto.
Not mine, but you can see what I mean:
Amazing... Simply Amazing shots... Pretty much the same type of shots I'd like to take... One question... How did they get the detail so fine of the moon? I just get a bright light? Usually, still looking pretty cool but just a bright light. I haven't taken anything (aside from test shots in the house) with the T3 yet so maybe I'll see a difference between the XT and the T3?
The moon is illuminated by the sun. Many people expose the moon as though it's dark-as-night because you usually shoot it at night. That gives you a white blown-out blob. Shoot it more like it's a regular daytime scene (it's a little darker due to its very low albedo, but it's still lit by the sun) and you'll be happier.
This one is from me, shot at 1/20th, f/16 and ISO 200.
http://photos.imageevent.com/sipphoto/samplepictures/T2i__3574%20edite d.jpg
Can you explain to me why you used those particular settings? I was trying to decifer the settings in my book but it almost seems backwards (not your settings but the explanation in the book).
I think if I can understand this instead I would be able to use the knowledge to take my own shots of the moon and not just get a white dot in the middle of the dark background/sky.
The shot you took was incredible... It looks like something NASA would get from a high powered telescope.
Unfortunately for me there is no visable moon out tonight. Just stars.

1) A good multicoated UV filter for your 18-55mm (58mm) will cost at least $25 to $50. Anything less will comprimise the quality of your picture. I used the same Canon UV filter on my first DSLR (Canon 300D) to shoot Zion and Bryce Canyon. Virtually every single picture suffered contrast loss, which fortunately was recoverable with Lightroom. Iris flare from single coated or non-coated filters is not so easily fixed, which is why you want to use the very best multicoated filters and/or lens hood:
My recommendation for your fairly inexpensive 18-55mm lens is to use no filter and a cheap lens hood for protection:
http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-08-HD-EW-60c-Bayonet-Lens-Canon/dp/B002 K3Z3DO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
The above hood is too small (including the more expensive Canon EW-60C OEM hood!) to provide much protection against flare, but it will provide some front lens element protection.
2) The Pro Optic extension tube set Lee Jay linked to is NOT EF-S lens compatible, and it also appears the build quality is marginal. Considering the $179 price of the better Kenko extension tube set and limitations of using ANY extension tubes with a small aperature (F3.5-5.6) zoom lens, I don't recommend this option. Sure it will work, but may prove very time-consuming and frustating adding and removing combinations of extension tubes to get the close-up magnification results you are looking for. In addition, you are inviting ingress of dust everytime you remove the lens from a DSLR camera body, necessitaing dust spot removal from every picture, and then sensor cleaning, which is even more time consuming.
You pays your money and takes your choice.....just my 2 cents worth!
So many good ideas and suggestions... I'm almost getting confused.
I want to get the most from my T3 and if it takes waiting a while... Well then I will wait until I can afford to spend the extra money on some good Canon lenses. I think this is the best approach for me.
I'm not sure about the UV Filters... I like having it on to protect my kit lens. I still haven't had much of a chance to actually go anywhere to take some nice shots of scenery or close up shots yet. I do like the idea of the tubes however I don't want to have to be switching them all the time to get the intended results (although, I've found non-intentional results are sometimes better effects than what you were trying for originally).
If by all means there is a lens out there for under $300 which will best my kit lens either for macro shooting or landscape shots please let me know... I'm learning more and more from all of you but there is so much to learn about good photography skills and tools.
One question I have aside from a quality lens for under $300 is how can I tell if a lens is EF or EF-S and if it will fit my T3? I thought all Canon EF and EF-S lens were swappable? Is this correct?
Prodigy9, I would like to add anothert macro option. As said by others, a dedicated macro lens is far preferable above other options. Not yet mentioned is the somewhat older Canon EF 50/2.5 Macro. It may be your least costly option, think about less than 300 US$.
It does not go to 1:1 (which meands you vcan shoot a sunbect at the same size the subject has, like insects) but "only" to 1:2. You could (later) buy the metching extension tube that wil get you to 1:1.
The 50/2.5 is not very fast in autofocusing, but at close range few lenses are. The optical quality however is great.
Would the EF 50/2.5 be compatible with my T3?
Also, I found these two lenses and I'm looking for an opinion...
The EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 & the EF 75-300 f/4.0-5.6
Would either of these lenses benefit me?
The 50/2.5 is fully compatible with the T3. It is a full frame design lens so it can also be used on full frame capturing Canons. The 50-250 and 70-300 will give you much more tele-capacity (ideal for distant objects) but are not more suitable for close-ups then your 18-55.
I see there are variations in the f stop on the 50mm lenses... Is one more suitable than another? Also, If I have an 18-55mm kit lens now... Wouldn't a 50mm fit inside the same confines as my kit lens? or is it the lower f stop (ex. f/2.5) which makes all the difference for zooming in on objects?
I also read the 50mm is not good for inmotion photos... Which is fine if I'm only taking photos of zoomed objects... Whether it be an insect, flower or other type of nature.
The Canon 50mm F2.5 EF macro is a very old lens design from about 1987, but is also the sharpest 50mm lens that Canon makes with exception of the $1,500 50mm F1.2 L series lens. If needing to stay under $300 it is a good macro close-up lens choice. It actually provides .8x magnification on a 1.6 crop camera (1.6 x .5x), so you're not losing much close-up capability over the more expensive Canon 60mm macro lens' (1.0x). The 50/60mm lens focal length does "duplicate" what you already have with your 18-55mm lens, but the F2.5 versus F5.6 maximum aperture will allow you to shoot in much lower light levels and with very good image sharpness wide open (i.e. F2.5). Concerning your question on lenses suitable for "motion" I have no idea where you read that and what they meant. IS (image stabilization) lenses are designed to allow you to "handhold" at lower shutter speeds without blurring the image, but will not necessarily help with subject motion. For moving subjects you should turn off IS and use the fastest possible shutter speed (high ISO setting and wide aperture). IS for macro photography is generally not too helpful and only the new Canon 100mm F2.8L IS macro has it.
All things considered you may be better served by first purchasing a telephoto zoom, which will allow you to truly "zoom" in on subjects.......not just make tiny subjects bigger. As I already suggested you can do the latter by "cropping your 12mp T3 close-up images in LR. Up to 2X crop should still allow sufficient image quality for enlargements and will give you .68x magnification with your 18-55mm at 55mm (2 x .34x at closest focus).

These are both low-cost Canon telephoto zooms, with the EF-S 55-250mm being the better choice for your T3. To clear up any confusion the 'EF' (Electronic Focus) lens mount was introduced by Canon in 1987 for film cameras, followed in 2003 with the EF-S lens mount designed specifically for the new 1.6 crop factor APS-C sensor DSLR bodies. The 'S' stands for "Short Back Focus" of the Canon APS-C sensor camera body, which allows the rear lens elements to extend further into the mirror chamber. This is why EF-S lenses can ONLY be used with crop-sensor bodies, but the EF lenses can be used on both crop-sensor and full-frame sensor bodies. This also means EF-S lenses are less expensive to design, since they image on a smaller sensor area. Here's a good website for reviews and test report information on Canon, Nikon, Sigma, and other lenses:
..and a great tool for comparing performance of two different lens:
To give you an idea of what differences to expect in lens performance, take a look at the entry-level Canon 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS (~$240) compared to the L series Canon 70-200mm F4 IS lens (~$1,250):
Digital SLR and Lens Image Quality Comparison
(Place your cursor over the little white arrow to review the two images. You can also change the Fstop to see improvement from "stopping down" the lens.)
Keep in mind these are 100% image crops. If you were to compare 8" x 12" photo enlargements taken with both of these lenses on your T3 the differences would be much more subtle! I hope this helps to clear up some of your questions. The web has a wealth of free video tutorials and other educational material that are very helpful for both beginners and pros.
The Canon EF 28-135 3.5-5.6 Lens may be a good fit, it does have macro cabalitity, the price is not terribly expensive. You can find a refurb at Adorama for $309, as I reply, or $469 new
Here is a review by Ken Rockwell
I'm really thinking of going with the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lens... I do need to get something I can really get close up shots with... I tried today to take some test shots outside. One subject I used was a flower. I tried standing about 2-3 feet away and really didn't get much of a shot with my 18-55mm kit lens; the flowers even seemed a bit blurred. However, when I moved within 12-18 inches of the subject I was able to get much more detail. But even still there wasn't as much detail as I was hoping. I think from what I've learned the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 might take care of this issue and give me better detail on things like flower pedals and other small objects or insects, birds, etc...
Is this wrong to assume?
To see "detail" in small objects like flowers you need to shoot much closer (within inches) to achieve higher magnification. I have the same 18-55mm IS kit lens you have and checked the maximum magnification possible, which is at the longest 55mm zoom setting. I was able to focus down to an image size of 1.5" x 2.25", which is about .63x magnification factor for full-frame 35mm 24mm x 36mm (95" x 1.4"). The Canon EF 50mm F2.5 on your T3 has a .5 x 1.6 = .8x magnification factor, so you're pretty close to this already with the 18-55mm's capability. The major difference is that the EF 50mm macro lens is designed to achieve higher sharpness at close distances, and will produce higher quality images of small objects like flowers. That said you may be very pleased with the results from your 18-55mm, once you get the hang of using it for macro work.
Regardless of the lens used the biggest difficulty with macro photography is framing, focusing on your subject, and keeping the camera "still." Even slight movement will cause the focus to shift at these close distances, due to very small depth of field (i.e. plane of sharp focus). Here are some things you can do that will help:
1) Use a tripod to help you compose the subject in your picture.
2) Set the camera to 'Av' mode and F stop of at least 8. You can go as high as F16 to increase depth of field. This will cause the camera to use a very slow shutter speed, which also requires using a tripod. In a pinch you can use your Canon T3 up to ISO 3200 with some Lightroom Noise Reduction post-processing to shoot "hand-held." Use the camera's image review screen at full magnification setting to check for sharpness while "in the field."
3) Set your lens to manual focus (M) and use 'Live View' mode on your T3 with the x10 magnification setting (read your T3 manual).
4) Focus on the central "area of interest." You can use your T3's 'Depth of Field Preview Button' to get an idea of what is inside the "depth of focus."
And don't forget Lightroom can work wonders on cleaning up and enhancing "less than pefect" images to make them look stellar! Happy shooting and LRing!
Thanks for the tips... I really appreciate it. Some useful information. I never thought much about using a tripod but after thinking about what you said I think even with a steady hand the slightest movement can cause your subject to blur and lose the details I want. Yesterday, I went out and took some shots of flowers. I really don't know how to all the settings yet but the image came out just a tad less detailed then I had hoped. But after running through Lr4 I was able to crop the photo for more magnification and to change the "dead" brown leaves around the flowers to a shade of green which really made a difference and all the while I didn't lose anything in colour or detail in the flowers themselves. Lr4 is an amazing tool.
I guess all in all I need to get up-to-speed on the numerous camera settings it offers. I just wish I had a lense which could really zoom in and catch as much detail as possible. I had to get up pretty close to the flowers to get the details I wanted. Leg-Zoom I heard someone call it. Hopefully, after reading the manual and the book I bought exclusively about the Canon T3 by David Busch I can increase my knowledge and skills.
To be honest some of the things (like the math) of the magnification, ISO Setting and f/stops I don't completely understand yet. Hopefuly, I will soon.
Thanks for everyone's help... (I still want a macro lens though! )

April 11, 2005
The resort is the oldest of the Pahio resort but still beautiful with lots of places to get great photos. Two things that stood out to me were the washer/dryer on the back patio off of the master bath and the ability to use a lock-off unit on "check-out" day. This was wonderful so we could "freshen up" (shower) before we headed to the airport, since the pool only has an outdoor shower.
I would recommend calling the resort before you arrive to request an upper-level unit just so you can get the views. We stayed in phase II, which was just fine. We had no problems with roaches, ants, or any other bugs. The resort staff sprays once a month for the insects. The resort was wonderful, and we had plenty of room with three adults and two children. The pool is small but pretty, with a waterfall and hot tub combined. Across the street from the resort is a asphalt walking/running trail that leads back to the Princeville Hotel. The trail is about 2 miles long. Where else can you run with mountains on one side and the ocean on the other? Absolutely beautiful.

The views from the sea-facing rooms are great and the local restaurant offers good variety of meals. Prices, at around 120-150 RM per room (ask for special deals or discounts), are quite reasonable.

Mexican >Cafe Delicias
211 Harding Blvd, Roseville, CA | Directions 95678-280338.748543 -121.270243
Neighborhoods: Folsom Road
Bland Mediocor food – My husband and I stopped in here after a rare trip to the Automall. I had a 'tamale" and a chile relleno, he had two rellenos, both served with rice and beans. The place had several other diners. I found the Orange walls a bit too much. The salad was served in those old plastic fake wood type bowls, which I question the cleanliness of. The rice and beans were just ok. The 'tamale' looked like it was something from AM/PM or a 12 for $5 dealeos. It was mushy and tasteless, but for the sauce on top. The relleno was just as bland. Truthfully, I have had tastlier food at Taco Bell. My husband and I agreed to agree to never eat at this place again. (ps: Tacos come with ground beef)
At $10.50 for my combo plate, I know MANY other places to go, besides this one, for a good tasty meal for that price .The food here is far from "Delicious". Try the taco wagon on the street!
Cafe Delicias is da "bomb" – Good food, generous portions, fair prices, excellent chili verde (some of the best I've had), marginal salad (cut up iceberg lettuce), good rice and beans.
Overall very good value with good to outstanding authentic "Californian-style Mexican" food

Support Language Learning with Live Conversations
Strengthen Confidence and Speaking Skills with
Rosetta Studio
For beginning and intermediate language learners, one of the challenges is speaking the new language. When given the chance to speak, many students hesitate. Rosetta Studio® sessions provide students an opportunity to put their language into practice with a native speaker of the target language. Studio Coaches are trained to engage learners in conversation and facilitate interactive discussions in Rosetta Studio sessions that may include up to three learners.
- Students build confidence and oral proficiency through live conversations with a native speaker and up to three peer learners in a controlled and structured setting
- Students engage in real-world conversations and interactions with up to three other learners during sessions
- Sessions focus on conversation topics and vocabulary that align with the student's current proficiency level, reinforcing newly acquired language skills
- A small group size of up to four learners ensures all learners actively participate in sessions

West Columbia is located in the eastern portion of Lexington County, along the Congaree and Saluda rivers. It was originally incorporated as the town of Brookland, named because of the large number of clear-water brooks in the area, then later to New Brookland. In 1936 the charter was changed to West Columbia. This riverfront city provides a small-town feel across the river from South Carolina's capital city, Columbia. State and Meeting streets include specialty shops, antique stores, restaurants, coffee shops and taverns. Stretched along the West bank of the Congaree River is a scenic walkway and amphitheater. Riverbanks Zoo & Botanical Garden has an entrance in West Columbia that takes visitors directly into the gardens.

Of course, I'm not the ONLY one in the middle of a launch – Apple's rolling out their iPhone 4 – and well, they crashed their server. Or more accurately, their network.
Take a look at what happened when a friend of mine tried to pre-order an iPhone:
Yes, that's the Apple store blowing up.
And yes…
That's definitely a server …
